[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hello, my friends!
After two months without posting... I'll try to get back...

In my last trip to Santa Catarina, while taking photos to a local " photo hunt", I met a man from Cape Verde (at background) who have asked me to photograph his son... because his father had never seen how his grandson looked... WWW makes it possible, here he is!!!
Hope you like it!
Grain filter added.
I tried a "55mm filter" for Photoshop named "55mm filter bleach bypass".
All critiques are welcome.

Ficou muito bonita!! Parabens! :)

Bem vinda de novo, Carmem!
Adorei esse rostinho.. bem capturado esses olhinhos! o efeito preto e branco está ótimo.

Beautiful portrait- I love how you focused on his eyes. The grain looks good on this, too. Good job!

Très joli portrait d'enfant en NB. J'aime son regard de face, comme s'il dévisageait celui qui le photographie.
Amicalement,
Martine

Excellent portrait! His eyes are perfectly captured and composition is great! DOF is well chosen for the portrait and for the background, congratulation. I also think that this B&W fits very well with grain effect.
Small thing that bothers me is the fact his hand is a bit OE, and I don't see a balance for that somewhere else on the photo. The big thing that bothers me (and it actually doesn't matter for TL post) is this: don't you think that grandfather would love to see the face of his grandson? I'm sure he will love this photo anyway, because it is a great photo, but still...
Gret job done, TFS and welcome back! It is nice to see your work again.

Regards
Robert

At first i thought this image was made in dark room then i saw Coolpix! Great analog B/W feeling in this shot.Very nice post processing.I use 55mm filter as well but not as well as you.

Great portrait, Carmem, and good to see pictures from you again on TL. I like your composition and your treatment. You have captured a great expression in the eyes of this little boy. Well done!

Perfect portrait. I like it very much.

Good to see you around again Carmem. How nice you took the photo for the child's grandfather to see. Very good macro portrait of this little boy. The grain is good. Did you remove it from the eyes? Just wondering.
Thank you for the name of the filter. I'll check it out.
